SMU Assistant Law Professor Eugene Tan said, ?WP did not seem well-prepared for the by-election. It seemed like they were caught off guard regarding the by-election date. WP's main arguments are similar to the ones raised by them in the GE last year.? He continued, ?However, the results showed that Low Thia Khiang is still very well aware of the voters' sentiments. ?Towards a first-world parliament' is still something that resonates with the voters. Low is still very politically shrewd.? He pointed out that it was significant that PM Lee was the first top gun to support Desmond Choo from the PAP.
